The Restaurant at Villa Gallici

"But the Gallici feels like a destination on its own: an old Provençal villa flanked by rows of apartments, a terraced restaurant, and a decadent swimming pool surrounded by bougainvillea"

"It also boasts a 3-hectare (7-acre) garden and a gastronomic restaurant on-site"

"" The restaurant pairs Provençale, French, and Mediterranean perfect-scoring dishes with Bordeaux, Burgundy, and local wines—all served on the terrace during the summer"

"The restaurant is also gorgeously decorated and has an impressive wine cellar, and the terrace makes for a fine alfresco dining spot under the trees"

"The lovely candlelit restaurant, a small room done in elaborate Provencal fashion with an eclectic assemblage of deeply cushioned chairs, is supplemented by a dining terrace shaded by a large tree, and the formal ambience is preserved even here, where the tables are draped in white linen"

"On our second night, we dine in Aix at Mitch, a stylish and extremely good restaurant off Cour Mirabeau, the city’s main drag"
